Denise Minger is NOT a scientist, NOT a statistician (but she likes numbers, she says) and not a nutritionist. She is an English major who likes to write. Strange that people here always point others to her site when asked for a scientific proof.

I don't care if Dewnise Minger is a homeless woman on the streets. That doesn't affect the quality of her arguements.

Point out something (anything!) wrong in her evisceration of the china study that effectively rebuts her points.

Hint: You won'tbe able to because her analysis is higher quality than Campbells original. Even the 'weak' and 'flawed' analysis is done deliberately because it copies Campbells own methodologies and exposes how useless his methods are to use to reach the (predetermined) conclusions he reached.

Yet she happens to be right. Or do you need a piece of paper from a university before you can comment on health matters, because that would make all of our opinions on health void, including Mark Sisson.

Thanks majicmerl for turning me on to Denise Minger.
I thought the documentary Forks over Knives was providing me with absolute prove that meat was bad for us.
I'm so clad I asked the question I did on this forum so I can learn about Denise Minger and realized that the documentary was bending the truth to provide a vegan's point of view.
I never wanted to: "You're perfectly free to abstain from meat and dairy. It's your life after all."
I justed wanted to make to make sure that eating the right type of animal products is a healthy decision.
I'll stay with my diet of eating everything that is healthy including organic animal products.

Just because what she wrote exceeds your understanding of statistics and nutrition and supports your own eating habits does not prove that she has refuted anything.
BTW, her sarcasm is pathetic but I can see how it appeals to some country bumpkins here.

Yes, it's because we're all country bumpkins that can't understand statistics and nutrition that we have a high opinion of her. Because she supports our own eating habits.

And there's not even a *hint* of entrenched opposition from you because she undermines a position you want to be true.

As I said before IN THE VERY POST YOU QUOTED, I couldn't care less who is making the arguments. I care about which arguments are the truth. The post you link to shows that Minger made a post about something after someone else made the same point. Who cares, as long as the truth is being promulgated?

LOL you're gonna bring Ancel Keys into it?? It's probably BECAUSE of him that the whole low fat craze started, and why so many people are less healthy than they were back in the day when all people ate were saturated fats... (and weren't dropping dead of heart attacks etc. in fact... heart attacks didn't EXIST prior to the 1920s - at least not in any large number at all).
